Applies to

  • ONTAP 9
  • Event management system (EMS)
  • Syslog
  • Common Event Format (CEF)
  • Security Information and Event Management (SIEM)
  • Log Event Extended Format (LEEF)

Answer

Syslog is a defined standard for computer message logging. The standard is defined by the IETF in RFC 3164 and RFC 5424. The EMS is ONTAP messaging facility built on the syslog standard.

CEF is a syslog alternative developed by ArcSight. SIEM alternatives (CEF, LEEF, etc) other than syslog cannot be used with ONTAP.
